*Happiness* *is* *in* *giving* !

*Happiness* *is* *in* *giving* !

Pls read this small story till end, this will amaze you indeed!

This is based on the small experience through which I went recently . We all always look for happiness and do whatever for it . Some like reading , others to watch movies , travelling and so on . But still we everyone feel something is missing and this incompleteness keep us hungry to look again for something else more .

My office is in koregaon park , pune . While going towards office there is a signal near Residency Club where I always used to see small child beggars who knock on car window and demands for money . Sometimes I have given them few bucks but I observed it may not be useful to them , so I started to purchase " *Wadapav* " before I reach signal and gave it to these kids . And they happily taken and ate it , so I felt happy with this change . But this is not  all about which I want to say , the main story is yet to tell . Whenever I pass from that signal i have seen one small boy around 7 years old and two girls may be 11 years old . 

One day I gave them three  Wadapav and taken my car aside to watch what they are doing . What I saw was very shocking , these  two girls forcefully taken the wadapav from the  small boy and ate it without giving him single bite . That small boy started to cry and went again at signal , started to beg to get something . I felt very bad about him and gave him ten rupee and told him to go at wadapav stall and to buy for himself . 

Next day ,I called to my one of friend and told him all this . He told that these kids are not real beggars and they are a part of gang , which get used money collection . 

Next week when I again passed from that signal i saw different kids which I used to see earlier . This time one girl with age around 8 years and one small boy 5 years . But this time it was a surprise to me . I gave 2 wada pav and stopped to watch what they are doing . That girl first started  to feed that small boy , i think he was hungry and he finished it all and nothing left for girl . I observed expressions on the face of that girl , i could see she was very happy although nothing left for her . That day I compared the greediness of that two girls who forcefully ate all and happiness on the face of this girl who given all food to that small boy .

On that day I realized real happiness is in giving to needy people and to those who are hungry . We give very little part out of our total as we are selfish . But that girl gave it all , still knowing nothing left for her. *Real happiness is in giving but only when you do it with selfishness .*
